Thanks for the info. iperf (and its gui front-end jperf) seem to be the ticket for me. Sucks that I'll have to find a PC for each end, but c'est la vie. There's a pretty sparse mailing list operating from Sourceforge for iperf. Is that the best place to go for help if I need it? > PS: if a "rock-solid link is a necessity" as you indicate, you may want to > consider a "real" wireless bridge with directional yagi antenna's and such. > If you must use 802.11x stuff, get something in the 5GHz range and still > try to use directional antenna.

Like I said, I need to evaluate the reliability of the link for more than a few minutes at a time. I appreciate the help. Thanks. Darren
